Description

Design and customize a home theater that fits seamlessly into your home decor. Or go big with complete, whole-house audio solutions. Whether you want to maximize your home theater experience or transform your living space, OSD Audio has total solutions to help you get the most out of your movies and music--from clean power amplifiers to in-wall and outdoor speakers, subwoofers, custom controls, and more.

Rated at 40 Watts per channel RMS at 8 ohms, the MX1260 is a serious contender for complex audio systems and will distribute sound to 12 different locations without the risk of overload. Equipped with brains and brawn, this sturdy, rack-mountable high current amp includes 6 zones or 12 channels (speakers), so owning this amp is like having six 2-channel amps in one efficient location.

What is a Multi-Channel Amplifier?

Multi-channel amps incorporate high-efficiency, space-saving digital technology. Multi-channel amps eliminate the complexity of wiring up multiple two-channel amps, save space by reducing the number of components that must be placed in cabinets, and drive down your amplifier costs by as much as a third over multiple two-channel models, or adding impedance matching equipment to the two channel systems. Having a 12 or 16 channel amplifier will allow you to directly connect 12 or 16 rooms, directly to the amplifier without overloading.

This unit has separate channels for each speaker, so impedance matching would not be necessary.

Hi Mark,
It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish. This is a 12-channel amp that is grouped into 6 stereo zones. You can connect two pair of 8-ohm speakers in parallel to a stereo zone which would be a 4-ohm load to the stereo right and left channel of the stereo zone (example: channel 1 and 2, stereo zone #1). In the single channel bridged mode (80 watts), you can connect a single summed mono stereo speaker, which needs to be 8 ohm. You can also bridge two channels together for 160 watts; however, you can only connect a single 8-ohm speaker. This amp also provides dual source through the BUS connection or you can connect each channel or each zone directly to a source.
Please let us know if you need additional info. It would help us to know what you are trying to accomplish (i.e., what speakers and sources you are using, how many zones, etc.).

I can't tell from the product images but can you select which zone is active from the front or is it all or nothing?

Hi Jason,
The six zones, or 12 channels, share a common power supply and turn-on method either manually switched (on the front), auto sensing, or from a 12-volt trigger (hard wired). You can select a common source (1 or 2) or connect an independent source per channel or zone but you are restricted to the turn-on option you select for all.

Does the input for this amp have to come from the preamp or can I input directly from the speaker connections on my receiver (the amplified outputs)?

Hi Jim,
The MX1260 features preamp signal only. There are two sets of universal inputs to choose from or you can input directly to a zone or individual channel. There is no speaker level (amplified inputs). Our high current two-channel amps (AMP200 or AMP300) feature a choice of signal level (pre-amplified) or speaker level inputs (amplified). This along with a speaker selector works better when you do not have a signal level output from your receiver.
